so we thing, a lot of preachers come from africa and latin america and come to europe and america because they, they feel that they've lost their way. so liberalism is the strong society. they usually point to gay marriages as a thing that they don't like. and a lot of these pages are coming to, to re evangelize the wes ah, but, but obviously that there's other things going on and of faith. it's cited in america. 19 o 6 and spread out to the world has a lot of connotations. but unlike a lot of other christian strains of, of the faith it's, it's very localized, it looks and it sounds like the local culture. so for example, it's really taken off in the fellas in brazil, traditionally the catholic faith in brazil. you've had a white preacher, educated in spain, a portugal can be dropped into a small village on the fringes of the amazon or, or you know, in a feller and re diginero. ah, and bring faith to you in that very almost scholarly manner. whereas at pentecost breech preacher has bubbled up from below with you. he's probably the most charming guy in the village. oh, the fellow. he is mi

in latin america.avid: just to follow up on that, one way in which the united states might combat this attempt to draw countries into the belt and road initiative and into china's economic agenda, is greater sharing of technology, ideas, relationships, there's an interesting component of aukus that i want to talk about further which is really about broad technology sharing. but we have a u.s.-e.u. council that met in pittsburgh where technology discussions were a big part of it. same thing with a quoted. we don't have anything like that that i know of with our own hemisphere. and whether that's a missing piece. brazil is pretty technologically advanced country. it's got a lot of things that we probably ought to be talking with them about. would that be a good idea, do you think? >> i think it would be a good idea. and you know, if you don't mind, i would -- talk briefly about one the proximity of this. david, you said back yard. i would like to use neighborhood because neighborhood resonates with our a

and basically all because obviously worry is not just several continents around the world, but latin america as well. and the america's ada as a whole. but it's been doing quite a good job in getting it's population's vaccinated, considering had such a darrel death toll during 2020 the vaccination rate certainly is a silver lining here, especially when you consider where latin america was as a whole compared to just one year ago. now there are warnings, there are concerns over what is now being seen as the coming 4th wave here in mexico and in the rest of latin america. there are almost a dozen countries where all micron has officially been been registered. but according to these figures from our world in data of south america, specifically countries in south america, the continent itself is now considered the most vaccinated in the world. when you look at brazil, for example, where again, just a year ago was considered if not the epicenter of the world at the very least, the at the center of the pandemic for latin america, the president of the country jerbill sanara, one of the most vocal a

as a region latin america has the highest rates of violence against women and girls in the world.his is been exacerbated by the covid-19 pandemic and exacerbated in venezuela where we see women and girls flee backcountry and be subject to sexual assault and other means of gender-based violence. can you talk about what the ministrations policy to help support venezuelan women and girls? >> our goal is to combat sexual and gender-based violence throughout the atmosphere but migrants in particular venezuelan migrants are exceptionally vulnerable to gender-based violence. we work to provide training to first responders. we partner with international organizations for migration and the high commissioner for refugees to provide support and combat gender-based violence. we fund shelters along the migrant route as well in a variety of countries in the hemisphere. we work with gender champions and when i was the ambassador peru i was honored who won the international courage award while i was there. >> thank you, we have more work to do. can you speak to the challenges that we face because

policy and democracy in latin america and the caribbean will come to order. in march this committee hosted an organization of american states secretary-general to review the state of democracy in the region. we heard concerns about the uptick in fraudulent elections, shrinking space for civil society, at first to politicize judicial institutions and the loss of hope in the region played by insecurity and kleptocracy. while the inter-american democratic charter marked its 20th anniversary in september, the harsh reality is we are witnessing a fraying at democratic consensus in the americas. given the diagnosis come it is critical that the biden administration continue efforts to restore the defense of democracy as as a central pif u.s. foreign policy. in his june memorandum the president made it clear that combating kleptocracy is u.s. national security priority and american diplomats areme again using the language of human rights. after four use of the trump administration failing d up for our fundamental values we have acutely felt the effects and these init

so mexico and other countries in latin america really preparing for another wait that's right, him. the warnings are clear, not only here in mexico, but in countries across a latin america region. prevention needs to be taken seriously. as this new wave of coven 19 continues to, to make its way into the region. there's been a spike in cases here in mexico link to the holiday season. but there's also a lot of concern over the spread of the con barion, which continues to reach new areas of the region. as you mentioned there in your introduction, and again, it's not only mexico we're seeing this happen in several countries in the region in origin. tina just this week, the country registered the highest number of cases of cobra in 1900. since the start of the pandemic, again here in the region, the delta variant continues to be the dominant variant. but we are now seeing cases of the current, at least at least 10 countries where it's now been confirmed. we've also looking at an alarming rate of hospitalizations in the u. s. territory of puerto rico, which just yesterday registered 307 h

but, but it, it really came through those 30 was in latin america in the seventy's and eighty's . and in guatemala that there might have been the world's 1st pentecostal leader in a friend rios monce, and he oversaw the bloodiest and 17 months of the civil war. that he heavily pentecostals the nation as well as an earthquake. natural disasters at tend to breed pentecostalism. it gets, gets people thinking about the end of days and also about the material conditions. so again, that they're here now as, as well as the ever after. ah, the, yet, it's been very closely associated with, with american rule in that part of the world. and, and we're seeing a pentecostal drug deal has in brazil or who are effectively militia leaders who happen to be religiously inclined. do they de facto burbridge genocide of native americans and indigenous peoples in london? word yes. say in my book, i did go to her latin america to add to guatemala, to investigate a murder of a ever traditional medicine healer. and he was murdered by the people in his village for practicing and preaching. this is natural

absolutely yes and look as how to america and latin america as a whole has been one of the most effective regions by the pandemic. south america makes up for just 8 percent of the world's population, but it has accounted by may 2021 for over. a 3rd of all corona visor is related the bet globally just gives you an idea of just how bad things have been here. especially during the 1st year of the damage and we have reported extensively on what happened across this region with bodies left on the streets and whether lack of oxygen for patients in a number of countries. and just how difficult the rollout of the vaccination campaign has been at the beginning with countries here struggling to get enough vaccines. but that has changed throughout most of 2021. and you were saying now, this is the reason the most fascinated region in the world. overcoming europe with 63 percent of the population. why that, how that does, that happens if you ask me, ology, still give you a number of reasons, but they all points through 2. in particular. first of all, this is a region that has been accustomed in the p

for one of latin america's most prosperous nations. the devil is latin america correspond. johan ramirez is following that election for us. the latest polls showed that the difference between these 2 main candidates is narrowing a right now. at this moment, a gabriella bodies would win the election with 39 percent of the vote. 3 percent overholser antonio cast. but what is interesting here is that for example, some months ago, e september, the difference between this candidate is, was around 20 percent. it means that in the last few weeks, holsen tanya, gus has been winning more and more support. but there is a still unimportant number of voters undecided folders. so if they go out on sunday and they vote their election, their cars can change their day. the result of this election at the very last minute, so he's very unpredictable. johan ramirez, speaking to us a bit earlier here watching daily news. here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you. non essential travel between britain and france has been banned. paris has i

i'm sure that other countries, including from latin america, will soon join this group. it is a response in a way to attempt by the united states and its close sellers to evade international law and to proceed in their statements, their rationale and their policies more and more often from a rules based world order that they themselves have invented. but these rules the shape by then narrow circle and no one she has alternative points of view. since there are no disputes, they can't expect to discover the truth to paraphrase russian same. at the same time, the current years have ministration is beginning to take a slightly more pragmatic view. in particular, they appear to be mulling other action with respect to venezuela. they're beginning to realize that they will still have to have a dialogue with the government of president maduro who reaffirmed his mandate in the latest election. the same is true for bolivia where genuine democracy has been restored of the somewhat dubious actions of the previous authorities. i give you more examples. i very much hope. the realities

nubank goes public and is now latin america's most valuable financial company.or the brazilian digital bank include warren buffett. in a moment, we will speak with the ceo from the nyse. supply chain issues continue to drive inflation up, resulting in an expensive holiday season with some questioning if this is the new normal. more companies telling their employees to go back to work remotely as covid cases rise. all that and more, coming up. amanda: a bit of a lackluster session, mixed actor across stockmarkets. in the s&p 500, you are seeing financials, utilities doing ok. health care as well. weakness for the groups that make up the tech groups. cvs is up on its outlook, so you are seeing some buying where investors feel it is warranted. as you mentioned, we are looking at a sizable ipo today. i look at the u.s. ipo's 42021. nubank ranks sixth on the list. we will be talking to the ceo in a moment. what jumps out to me is rivian, which slumps that all, even though it has little by the way of revenue or profit. nubank stands out in contrast to that, you might

i'm sure that other countries, including from latin america, will soon join this group. it is a response in a way to attempt by the united states on its close satellite to evade international law and to proceed in their statements, their rationale and their policies more and more often from a rules based world order that they themselves have invented. but these rules are shaped by then narrow circle, and no one shares alternative points of view. since there are no disputes, they can't expect to discover the truth. to paraphrase russian zane you're at the same time the current years have been situation is beginning to take a slightly more pragmatic view in particularly appeared to be mulling other actions with respect to venezuela. they beginning to realize that they will still have to have a dialogue with the government of president maduro re of eventual mandate in the latest election for the same is true for bolivia where genuine democracy has been restored of the somewhat dubious actions of the previous authorities. after i forgive you more examples, i very much hope t

is that the case across latin america? the warnings from health authorities here in mexico as well as health authorities across latin american region are clear, more has to be done to prevent contagion of this new wave of the pandemic. that's beginning here and in, across the continent. just in the last few days, we've seen how the lines outside of vaccine centers, those cues are starting to grow once again, given the spike in cases here in mexico. but if you look across the board in latin america, the same is true in several countries. argentina, just this week has posted the largest number of new cases since the very start of the pandemic, again, the dominant strain, the dominant barrier is the delta vary, but of course there is much concern over the army con very is given what health authorities are observing taking place in europe and in the united states right now, there's another alarming trend that we've been paying close attention to today, which is what's happening in puerto rico, which just yesterday there were 3

say in my book i do go to latin america to add to guatemala, to investigate a murder of a traditional medicine healer. and he was murdered by the people in his village for practicing and preaching. this is natural, a medicine that's very rooted in mind, traditional beliefs, ands. and certainly what we're saying, i'm very interestingly in guatemala and some other places in the world is, is often indigenous lead people turning on their own former beliefs once they pentico slice. and, and part of that is painted russell pentecostalism. it is very understanding of how the modern world works. so they really understand it's marketplace of ideas and a marketplace of beliefs. and there's a direct competitor in terms of traditional healing and traditional artifacts and things like that. unfortunately gets violent with ideas such as spiritual warfare. and seeing everything in terms of, of good and evil, to do my, my, my jury people going to mosques one for the morning. and the pentecostal church mean? well traditionally that that was the way it's becoming less so now and so much say that there

got its start doing e-commerce for walmart in brazil but then they branched out to the rest of latin americaing into europe and north america. last year it got 94% of the sales from north america and more than half from brazil alone. management likes to point out that latin america had the fastest growing market for e-commerce last year it grew to a 37% clip leaving the rest of the world in the dust now if you're feeling generous, you could describe v tex as shopify, except they're more focused on large businesses. within latin america it is the largest provider of digital commerce technology. they have more than 2,000 customers across 32 countries including names like adidas, whirlpool, sony and nestle among others and their technology is embedded in large enterprises which is a good place to be and in many cases taking a small cut of the transactions that they facilitate what about the numbers like plays, business was booming in 2020. of course the pandemic forced everyone to stop online. but the growth has slowed in 2021 and no, it is to the docu sign keep listening v tech is just 12% rev

date, emily's latin america correspond johan ramirez is following the election for us. the latest pause showed that the difference between these 2 main candidates is narrowing a right now, at this moment, a gabriella bodies would win the election with 39 percent of the vote, 3 percent over jose antonio cast. but what is interesting here is that, for example, some months ago, e september, the difference between this candidate is, was around 20 percent. it means that in the last few weeks, jose antonio gus has been winning more and more support. but there is a still unimportant number of voters undecided voters. so if they go out on sunday and they vote their election, their cars can change their, their, the result of this election at the very last minute. so he's very unpredictable. johan ramirez, speaking to us a little earlier, you're watching daily news. his reminder of the top story with following non essential travel between britain and france has been banned. paris is introduced, tie said travel restrictions that have been to slow down the spread of the army con va

there is a very vibrant civil society in latin america that is fighting back.g for transparency and for corruption. they are looking for rule of law, for independent judiciary, for independent legislative branches. there are lots of courageous, innovative, and very committed people fighting back. nick: you talked a lot about elections. why is it important for the world to try and support african election infrastructure? >> societies and organizations in other parties are working very hard to ensure that electoral processes are more transparent despite the nature of states. although there's been a lot of work in terms of necessity isaac the citizens or the rule of law on elections, we find that the stuff is not conducive for civil society. nick: we have seen major protests across poland. can something like that make a difference? >> absolutely. you are saying a pretty significant social mobilization. but is it enough? you have governments that have all the tools. they control the media, the funding sources, and they are able to use their majorities to pass throu

cost was seen as the law and order. kennedy let's bring in latin america expert. good to my hold here. he works at the german institute for international and security fairs here in berlin. good. have a with us now. gabrielle burridge is not only the youngest candidate who ever got elected in chile. he also got more boats than any other presidential candidate in the history of the country. how do you explain his success? he's a representative for new generation. he has about half of the age of the actual president, sebastian brittany era, and he's a representative of the student and social movement of the 2019 demonstrations on 3. and it's the same time he represents a new generation of political actors because all the old parties of the transition period of the julian democracy after losing place. and he's now on the front of a social movement government which will generate new topics, new electoral perspectives for the people. so a new generation of leadership, but the challenges that have been plaguing chile are still very much the same. what are those challenge

he's our latin america. it is that they're seeing you in the world's most powerful country, a sharp turn away from right wing populism, you know, duration of democrat joe biden. donald trump became the 1st outgoing president in modern who was history not to attend. but 2 weeks before the inauguration, many of trumps loyal supporters attacked the united states capital building in washington, following an unsuccessful bid by trump to overturn his defeat. to day, we celebrate the triumph mother of kennedy. what of a cause? the cause of democracy, the people, the world, the people has been heard and the world the people has been here. for the 1st time, a bi racial woman camel harris was elected as the u. s. vice president are showing in what many c as a milestone across the atlantic, the end of in europe. after 16 years of leading her country and europe, german chancellor angle america decided that it was time to step down after general elections. she was replaced earlier this month by allah schultz, a social de

which side is winning in latin america?fortunately, have to say that i think autocracy is winning. unfortunately, this is a region of the world that, until recently, praised itself of having all the countries in the democratic field except for cuba, and that has been a 60-year, long-lasting dictatorship. nowadays, in addition to cuba, we have nicaragua, venezuela, and a significant slipping into authoritarian trends both on the right and on the left, and what's really worrisome is these apparent trends are being promoted from within. elected officials, players, parties inside democratic systems that are pushing their own countries against the will of the people, in many cases towards authoritarian regimes. >> reporter: helen kezie-nwoha, we have seen coups in guinea, mali, chad, sudan, highest number of coups in afternoon in 40 years, each with their own local causes. what's behind what secretary general gutierrez called a coup? >> the democratic process in africa has been marred with corruption in electoral processes. you

not only in chile, but in latin, america's pretty strong will. back to the last presidential election, it was said that if the left wing candidate wins, chile would be sheila sweller. so all was referring to nicaragua and venezuela. but governor boris has a clear stand when it comes to the human rights abuses in his will. and also in nicaragua, and of course the human rights crisis, not only during the past years of their presidency, of the conservative a president of us, the opinion, but also during that dictatorship played a huge role in this vote. and in conclusion, benjamin how polarized is chilly at the moment and can't president elect were, it's unify the country. it will be a very big task, not only because he will be the youngest ever president at this country, have to be at least 35 years old to be a president. and he has no clear majority in congress and parliament. so they will have to try to find agreement with a right when talking and it's different between being a candidate and being a president. and that's one of the advisors that

when you look at uniform startups in latin america, it is surprising.ok at venture capital flows in latin america, it is second really only to india at this point among emerging markets. so there are potentials, and we will see what happens with agriculture. of course course commodity prices have been volatile. kailey: susan, as we look more holistically at the world economy as a whole, we saw throughout the pandemic they're being this handoff from monetary policy to fiscal policy. now you're seeing fiscal policy going the other direction, monetary policy, dipping on where you are, going in the other direction as well. what is it going to take to take the mantle? is it going to be the private sector? susan: we know that government spending and monetary policy can only stimulate economies for so long, until you run out of runways, actually going to do more. in the emerging economies we are talking about, in advanced economies, i think we have run out as well, as we see inflation that is transitory, but it depends on how long you define transitory as. i t

in latin america, 2021 was a turbulent year with nicaragua, leader, daniel ortega assuring his reelection last month after disqualifying and arresting the vast majority of his would be competitors. ah, but in neighboring honduras, you're mad. castro, the wife of a former president who was ousted in 2009, was elected as the country's 1st woman president. a year ended with a 35 year old former left wing student leader. gabrielle bought each elected in chile with the largest number of votes in history. there's no indication that the regions more authoritarian governments will be less so in the new year. but after a decade long swing to the right, the election of gabriel burridge in chile could signal the beginning of a new shift back to the left in the continent, starting with latin, america's largest country, brazil. the new year will it populist conservative president jade bull sonata against his arch political phone. we see now sula desilva, brazil's left wing, former president, whose prism conviction for corruption was overturned in april, and was now leading in the polls. but they were

and the re sent summit for democracy in spasm, possibly in such as latin america, over the course of the last 50 or 60 years has the ability to school and so on to go on major political jess off. but over there have been tendencies to move to the left or to the right. now we observe and you wave off rational forces, nationally oriented roles is coming to our i believe that is the reflection of the failure off the neo liberal project. the so called project, not sure what he was good never in our relations where the legend america, the russian federation was through. so you has some is still the wilcock oil play. it's b o. it's course with regards to what the government isn't paula. we want to have friendly relations, mutually beneficial relations with countries and peoples, and not with these of that government, depending on that they're below the references. thank yes. unlike the united states, we do not see the let america europe as playing field for job political games. the current administration of united way with you was the blue shield on what hes already bizarre forces to join

silver lining, if there is any sort of good news when it comes to where we are in the pandemic in latin america, it's simply the level of vaccinations of south america specifically now leave the world in the number of vaccinated. 63.3 percent of the population of south american countries have, have been vaccinated. what's interesting to note right now at this stage is how the attitudes are very greatly across the latin america region. attitudes being reflected in policy, mexico, you could argue, is one of the more extreme cases of relaxed policies where the government really isn't enforcing anything that's mandatory. there is no requirement for foreign travelers traveling to mexico to present a negative cobit test or a p c. r. test compared to extreme examples on the other side. countries like sheila which do require a p, c, r test a negative. cobit test, less than 72 hours before travellers arrived. there's mandatory quarantine periods . so there, there are examples like these across the region, but the biggest challenge right now is the vaccine inequality, despite the fact that we are seeing

we are seeing this across the whole of latin america.ve two major elections coming through in latin america. columbia and brazil. >> latin america in general has been a big stage -- stain on the emerging equity markets. we have seen brazil, mexico. what is it going to take to create a bottom in these economies are in the risk tolerance at least for this region? >> it's going to be stabilization of the dollar. i think 50% of the factor attribution in terms of an equity return converted back into dollars is going to be that equity impact. rest assured we expect yields to go up. i think it is going to be very difficult for chile to avoid a recession. >> we've been talking about turkey for a very long time. i remember talking to president erdogan years ago and he was saying similar things. we are now starting to see his turbulence in the equity market. if we start saying the currency volatility bleeding into other asset classes. >> you are focusing on the equity market. the focus needs to be on the u.s. dollar credit market. kailey: it looks

a group of vaccine experts has just released a list of over 100 companies in africa, asia, and latin america with the potential to produce mrna vaccines. they say it is one of the most viable solutions to fight vaccine and equity around the world and combat the spread of covid, including omicron. into afghanistan, which faces a looming humanitarian catastrophe after the taliban seized power in the united and other western donors cut off financial aid. >> estimated 98% of afghansre t getting enough food. despite e economic crisis, the conflict, and drought has made the average family can barely cope. amy: we will also speak with new yorker staff writer and colombia journalism school dean steve coll. his new investigation is headlined "the secret history of the u.s. diplomatic failure in afghanistan: a trove of unreleased documents reveals a dispiriting record of misjudgment, hubris, and delusion that led to the fall of the western-backed government." all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. an unprecedented december

i would rather have supply chains with countries in central america and mexico and latin america that have supply chains with china. if you look at what china is doing in central america, mexico, latin america, south america, china is there. they're in there. and we're going to wake up one of these days and realize that china and russia and iran to an extent are down there in latin america. and they're going to be right across the border. so i want to make sure we help those countries. and it's not only the foreign aid that i've been a supporter of, but we need to have american investors down there, because the more jobs we create, the less people who come over to the u.s. so i feel bad for those folks, but if you have 100 people that are asking for asylum in front of an immigration judge, a judge will reject 88 to 90% of them, so why at the end of the day are we giving them false hope when they're not going to be receptive, because poverty and crime are not covered under the asylum laws that we have. >> congressman, i thank you for being with me this morning. i appreciate your time.

for one of latin, america's most prosperous nations. d. w. latin america correspondence johan ramirez is following the election for us. the latest polls showed that the difference between this 2 main candidates is narrowing a right now. at this moment a gabrielle bodies would win the election with 39 percent of the vote. 3 percent over jose antonio cast. but what is interesting here is that for example, some months ago in september, the difference between this candidate was around 20 percent. it means that in the last few weeks, horse antonio cars has been winning more and more support. but there is a still an important number of voters on the side borders. so if they go out on sunday and they vote their election, their cars can change their, their, the result of this election at the very last minute. so he's very unpredictable. you're watching dw news from berlin op next report out, looks at japanese flathead areas. reason for went up. i did, mike a junior, thanks for watching, but do stay tooth with people in trucks injured when trying t

we need another book of what he did in africa, in latin america. i had someone to write in latin america, and the guy withdrew at the last minute, and we never got it done. which i regret. anyway, there was a famine developing in 1990 because of a drought and a civil war in ethiopia. and hank cohen was the assistant secretary of state for africa, and he and i worked very closely together on these civil wars. we couldn't get food into ethiopia because the marxist dictator said you land any food at that port and i will blow up all the barges with the food on it. and then now the president of aratria said, you move any food in, i'll blow it up because i don't want food delivered to my people because he'll get credit for it. we sent a note -- hank cohen sent a note saying andrew has been trying to get both sides to agree to this thing and they haven't done it. so, this is a true story now, hank called me up and said i have a hilarious story. i said, you know that he just announced for humanitarian reasons he was opening the port up. i said i can't imag

same thing in latin america. on a relative basis it's lower, but we see it over and over again, every use case is coming back. workday, weekend. travel trails a bit, as you would expect, but the pattern over and over is that as cities and countries open up, volume comes back and eventually exceeds pre-pandemic high. i can't tell you exactly when. i will be trying to predict the health circumstance. that's difficult. but i'm quite certain that next year we will be hitting all-time records in terms of mobility bookings. i will make that protection now. 8 emily: ok, good to know. all-time records next year in mobility. omicron, here and around the world. are you seeing an impact? airport rides? and honestly how worried are you? >> we are not seeing impact as we speak that this is an uncertain world and i think that we as a company now, because of the global nature of the business, some countries opening up, others closing down, etc., but on average the world is getting better. the efficacy of our meds are getting be

by latin-america and africa. they have to remember everything this president does has china in the background. this would be designed to go to those parts of the world and say, stick with democracy, stick with the united states, avoid the chinese influence in investment that will come your way, and remember we stand with you. president trump didn't go to africa, and there is a belief that such a trip needs to happen sooner than later. and africa as well, going would send a big signal, and he would try to meet with some big leaders in that region. i predict these are two trips he will make. >> i think in terms of the mid-terms, one dynamic to watch in covering politics, we keep talking about the increased number of women who are running and people of color. i think especially, when you look at black women in particular, i think you will see a barrier being broken, whether that is in the senate or the governor's mansion. there has never, ever been a black woman elected as governor in u.s. history. you have five run
